There was no change in the JJHuddle Division V Power Poll as all 10 teams won last week. Ursuline did trail in the third quarter but stormed back to overwhelm rival Mooney. Tinora recorded its seventh straight shutout and Lima Central Catholic continues to roll the competition. Here’s how this week’s rankings look.

1. Youngstown Ursuline (9-0)The Irish trailed archrival Mooney 7-6 in the third quarter before exploding for a 44-7 win. Two interception returns for TDs helped key the comeback. This week the Irish look to cap a perfect season with a win over another rival – Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary (6-3). Previous: 1
